WIGAN, England — Wigan twice squandered the lead to slump to a costly 3-2 home loss to Swansea on Tuesday and stay rooted in the Premier League's relegation zone with just two games left.

The league's perennial escapologist, Wigan would have clambered out of the bottom three with a win but defensive howlers led to Swansea striker Itay Shechter making it 2-2 in the 59th minute and Dwight Tiendalli grabbing a scrappy winner in the 76th.
